Is it permissible to take the handkerchief from the prostration spot of a Rafidi if he prays next to me?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If I see one of the Rafidis placing a handkerchief or clay so that his forehead does not touch the ground, is it permissible for me to take it while he is praying? Is my action correct? And does this fall under the hadith
He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his handمن رأى منكم منكرا فليغيره بيده؟
Sahih Muslim 49a


Answer:
Your action is not correct, and this may cause fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and lead him to stubbornness. So advise him and clarify it to him. If he does not accept, leave him alone. You have clarified it to him, and that is enough. Yes.
